Scott Cummings (born 3 December 1996 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a Scotland international rugby union player who plays for Glasgow Warriors at the Lock position.

Rugby Union career[]

Amateur career[]

Cummings first played his rugby for Kelvinside Academy but moved on to the BT Premiership side Glasgow Hawks. He was confirmed as part of SportScotland's academy system in 2013.[1] Cummings has been drafted to Currie in the Scottish Premiership for the 2017-18 season.[2]

Professional career[]

Cummings secured an Elite Development Programme and was aligned to Glasgow Warriors for the 2014–15 season.[3] This meant he could continue playing for Glasgow Hawks whilst training and challenging for a place at the Warriors.

The lock made his debut for Glasgow Warriors in a pre-season friendly against ASM Clermont Auvergne.[4] He went on to make his competitive debut against the Scarlets on 5 September 2015,[5] and scored his first try the following week in a narrow victory against Connacht.[6]

He graduated from the Scottish Rugby Academy and signed a professional contract with Glasgow Warriors on 23 March 2016.[7]

International career[]

Cummings was to be capped by Scotland for the under-16s,[8] under-19s [9] and the under-20s. He was in the 2015 Scotland Under-20 World Cup squad.[10] Cummings received his first call up to the senior Scotland squad by coach Gregor Townsend in October 2017 for the Autumn Internationals.[11]

He received his first full senior cap from the bench for Scotland in the World Cup warm-up match against France on 17 August 2019.[12]
